Text Quotes
Last night I dreamed about you. What happened in detail I can hardly remember, all I know is that we kept merging into one another. I was you, you were me. Finally you somehow caught fire  (Franz Kafka Quotes) It’s only because of their stupidity that they’re able to be so sure of themselves  (Franz Kafka Quotes) And so gentlemen, I learned. Oh, if you have to learn, you learn; if you’re desperate for a way out, you learn; you learn pitilessly. You stand over yourself with a whip in your hand; if there’s the least resistance, you lash yourself  (Franz Kafka Quotes) My doubts stand in a circle around every word, I see them before I see the word, but what then! I do not see the word at all, I invent it  (Franz Kafka Quotes) They’re talking about things of which they don’t have the slightest understanding, anyway. It’s only because of their stupidity that they’re able to be so sure of themselves  (Franz Kafka Quotes) I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself  (Franz Kafka Quotes) I’m tired, can’t think of anything and want only to lay my face in your lap, feel your hand on my head and remain like that through all eternity  (Franz Kafka Quotes) As far as I have seen, at school... they aimed at blotting out one’s individuality  (Franz Kafka Quotes) There are some things one can only achieve by a deliberate leap in the opposite direction  (Franz Kafka Quotes) You, who can’t do anything, think you can bring off something like that? How can you even dare to think about it? If you were capable of it, you certainly wouldn’t be in need of it  (Franz Kafka Quotes) Death confronts us not unlike the historical battle scene that hangs on the wall of the classroom. It is our task to obscure or quite obliterate the picture by our deeds while we are still in this world  (Franz Kafka Quotes) Photography concentrates one’s eye on the superficial. For that reason it obscures the hidden life which glimmers through the outlines of things like a play of light and shade. One can’t catch that even with the sharpest lens  (Franz Kafka Quotes) One can disintegrate the world by means of very strong light. For weak eyes the world becomes solid, for still weaker eyes it seems to develop fists, for eyes weaker still it becomes shamefaced and smashes anyone who dares to gaze upon it  (Franz Kafka Quotes) From outside one will always triumphantly impress theories upon the world and then fall straight into the ditch one has dug, but only from inside will one keep oneself and the world quiet and true  (Franz Kafka Quotes) The tremendous world I have inside my head. But how free myself and free it without being torn to pieces. And a thousand times rather be torn to pieces than retain it in me or bury it. That, indeed, is why I am here, that is quite clear to me  (Franz Kafka Quotes) Human nature, essentially changeable, as unstable as the dust, can endure no restraint; if it binds itself it soon begins to tear madly at its bonds, until it rends everything asunder, the wall, the bonds, and its very self  (Franz Kafka Quotes) I answer one of your letters, then lie in bed in apparent calm, but my heart beats through my entire body and is conscious only of you. I belong to you; there is really no other way of expressing it, and that is not strong enough  (Franz Kafka Quotes) Sometimes I think I can expiate all my past and future sins through the aching of my bones  (Franz Kafka Quotes) I am more uncertain than I ever was; I feel only the power of life. And I am senselessly empty  (Franz Kafka Quotes) I made the remark that I don’t avoid people in order to live quietly, but rather in order to be able to die quietly  (Franz Kafka Quotes) I believe that we should only read those books that bite and sting us. If a book does not rouse us with a blow then why read it?  (Franz Kafka Quotes) I’m thinking only of my illness and my health, though both, the first as well as the second, are you  (Franz Kafka Quotes) Celibacy and suicide are a similar levels of understanding, suicide and a martyr’s death not so by any means, perhaps marriage and a martyr’s death  (Franz Kafka Quotes) Every one of us has a bad conscience, which he tries to escape by going to sleep as quickly as possible  (Franz Kafka Quotes) Humility provides everyone, even him who despairs in solitude, with the strongest relationship to his fellow man  (Franz Kafka Quotes) I am always trying to convey something that can’t be conveyed, to explain something which is inexplicable, to tell about something I have in my bones, something which can be expressed only in the bones  (Franz Kafka Quotes) I can once more carry on a conversation with myself, and don’t stare so into complete emptiness. Only in this way is there any possibility of improvement for me  (Franz Kafka Quotes) I can’t feel a thing; All mournful petal storms are dancing inside the very private spring of my head  (Franz Kafka Quotes) The old incapacity. Interrupted my writing for barely ten days and already cast out. Once again prodigious efforts stand before me. You have to dive down, as it were, and sink more rapidly than that which sinks in advance of you  (Franz Kafka Quotes) If something good has lost its way into you, it will make its escape overnight. I know you  (Franz Kafka Quotes)
